MSC Cruises wants travelers to experience the “Best Holiday Ever” this summer.
It’s shining the spotlight on its embarkation ports around the world, range of Fly & Cruise packages and curated shore excursions on cruises that give travelers the freedom to discover multiple destinations while only needing to unpack once.
The company is inviting guests to explore its fleet of modern ships, which feature world-class entertainment, cabin types of every budget, kids and family programming, multiple swimming pools, fitness facilities, culinary offerings and wellness experiences at the MSC Aurea Spa.
Guests can also secure their voyage with a low $58 (€50) deposit through the end of June for all cruises currently open for sale, (excluding World Cruise and MSC Yacht Club cabins). The cruise line also notes that it will not be introducing a fuel surcharge this summer.
MSC Cruises offers a wide range of Fly & Cruise packages that bring together flights, transfers and a cruise into one coordinated, protected holiday. For those who prefer to travel without flying, MSC Cruises offers one of the widest selections of no‑fly cruises available, with an extensive choice of local embarkation ports.
The company offers a wide range of thoughtfully curated shore excursions in every destination and offers a flexible cancellation policy in the event of any unexpected circumstances.
MSC Cruises Fantastica, Aurea and Yacht Club bookings also allow guests to make a free cruise change. This means that up to 30 days before departure, the guest can change to another departure within 90 days after/before the original date or a different destination, with no change fees.
For added peace of mind, MSC Cruises also offers comprehensive travel insurance. Benefits include cover for trip cancellation or interruption, travel delays, medical and transportation emergencies, emergency assistance, and baggage loss or delay.
